EUROPEAN WORKSHOPS IN CLINICAL FORENSIC MEDICINE:
DIAGNOSIS AND ASSESSMENT OF CHILD AND ADULT
SEXUAL ABUSE AND OF JUVENILE PORNOGRAPHY
First Edition
Milano 25-26th May 2012
The present workshop aims at providing specialized and practical training in the
physical evaluation of sexual abuse of children and adults by focusing on specific
procedures of the clinical examination and on the more crucial aspects of
interpretation and medico legal evaluation of signs and lesions. Lectures given by
international experts in the field such as Joyce Adams and Deborah Rogers will be
intervalled by practicals on models and on real case material. The issue of juvenile
pornography and the difficulties and pitfalls in assessing age from photos or videos
will also be presented. The workshop is meant for all professionals of the clinical,
forensic and medico legal fields who wish to gain up to date information and
practical experience in this delicate field, and particularly for those who wish to
work as court experts. The ultimate aim is also to bring together experts in this field
in order to begin a process of harmonization of clinical and medico-legal procedures
for sexual abuse at the international level.
